Blogging About Work Safety- At Home or At The Office

Whatever kind of business someone works in, even if it’s from home, there are safety recommendations that should be considered. While you can search all over the internet to find this information, by looking at different blogs for different businesses and careers, it would be great to find all of this information in one simple place.

You can find salaries for any career or job possible at websites like salary.com. However, it can be a bit more difficult to find out how to protect yourself at various jobs and careers. Even people that work from home have safety issues, especially if they spend time online or on the phone.

Safety working outside the home

Factory, retail and even office safety is governed by OSHA, which is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OSHA protects safety from chemicals and other job hazards. When you work someplace that follows OSHA rules you will have a booklet (more like a novel) available to you that explains all of the safety guidance you could possibly need. On top of having the manuals, it might be a good idea to have all employees complete a general 10 hour osha training online course to make sure everyone is up to date on safety.

While you can check out the OSHA website to see all of the safety goodness you could possibly stand, having a singular blog to visit that covers more than just OSHA safety would be useful. Such as, why in some areas it may be safe to have someone walk you to your car. Or it may be safer to take a cab than ride the bus home from work.

Sometimes there are things that you don’t think about when you are working out of the home. It’s very important that things like guardrails and stair railings are sturdy so that even visitors to a place are safe.

Safety working inside the home

While stair railings may be less of an issue in your own home, especially if you don’t have guests coming in for your business endeavors, there are issues to keep in mind. Most of those issues revolve around privacy.

If you spend your time taking or making phone calls, it helps to have a specific phone line for business that isn’t attached to your home address. You never know what kind of psychos are out there. So other than that, what could someone do to protect themselves in the in-home office?

Online work also comes with risks, not just to your location, but also to your computer itself. A one stop blog on worker safety could cover everything you need yo know about protecting your computer from viruses, malware and spyware. It could also teach you how to backup all of your info in case you have computer issues.

There is so much that could be covered when it comes to work safety, and would make for a great blog for anyone that has safety concerns.
